If you fee around the front panel on the bottom; there is an indentation. Just push from the bottom and pull slowly but firmly. You will hear some cracking that's nonormal do not be alarmed. Be careful and mindful of the front panel connectionns; and enjoy the experience. Best of luck to you �

Starting from the bottom, start pulling the front panel off slowly and note where the panel connectors start popping off. Continue pulling off panel from where the first connector unhinged and continue from there. Be careful as these cases are build pretty cheap and the connectors are known to break.

I got it off an there is nothing behind the panel that requires it to be removed. It was super hard to remove too. It was a while ago but i remember being disappointed.

Hi Jose,I just started using the fan - so I haven't had any experience with taking it apart yet. The front grill is removable, but I haven't tried it yet.

Yes you will need to remove you complete fan shroud. You may also need to swap your water pump pulley for additional clearance if necessary.ThanksBrian

It does not appear that you can change the fan if it goes out. But, since the fan is the largest part, it would be price prohibitive to replace it.

I've had this fan for about 3 years. Dust was building up on the fins and was clearly inside the fan. I finally decided to take it apart. First, I removed the base...3 easy wing nuts. Then there were 4 screws to remove from the backside of the fan...2 at the top and 2 towards the bottom. Finally, I used a flat tip screwdriver to pry the seam on both sides of the fan. After that, the fan was almost completely apart (except the fan mechanism itself was attached to one of the halves). I was able to clean nearly all of the dust out. It was relatively easy to disassemble/reassemble and the fan is now as good as new. I've had this fan for about 3 years. Dust was building up on the fins and was clearly inside the fan.

Remove the four Phillips head screws on the back of the part that the fan blades are contained within, it should snap out/off so that you can get access to the fan blades to clean dust build up off them.

Since my last answer I have found the following quote online: "I have the blizzard table model. Four screws, on the back side of the front panel, sunk in a lil' ways, release the front piece from the rest of the unit, giving access to the blades and everything else inside." My model has 3 screws. I got the fan apart, finally. I've already spent an hour on this. Cranky, but it can be done.

Sorry, unable to advise on fan removal. You may want to try Ask.com web site for info, or Ryobi for tech help.

You should be able to remove the motor and fan portion of the unit without removing the metal boxthat is connected to the framing. As one of the other answers was to check the electrical to make sure that is not the problem. You will have to make sure you buy the exact model.

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws. Seriously, a monkey could do it. You can fix the fan yourself.

There are a few screws on the back of the TV that you remove and the entire display module (light bulb, fans, etc.) can be pulled out. You will see both fans in there. You just pull out the wiring harnesses for each fan and pull them out. You may need to remove a few screws. Also, one my fans came with shorter wires than the original, so I had to splice and add a length of wire from the original fan. You might as well replace both fans while you have the module out. I couldn't tell which fan was 1 and 2, so I replaced them both. It should take less than 1 hour to replace the fans. It's pretty easy.

I never tried to open mine & am not sure u should! ;) I use compressed air (like those cans sold for use on computers) & a vacuum & wipe it down. According to user manual: "The fan grilles are removable for cleaning by gently prying the grille from fan using a small screwdriver on the rim of the grille. (DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GRILLE). Use only a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the fan clean." http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/honeywell/hw628.html?p=6

You have to remove the front panel. Once you do, you will see screwholes for a fan.

You can fix up to four of the SP120 fans in the Corsair 400r case it's all here Corsair Carbide Series Black 400R Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011011-WW)

Yes you are able to replace the fan that comes with it without much trouble. It's a standard 120mm fan and it can be removed without too much hassle. Unless you're going for extreme silence or want a lighted fan there really isn't any need to replace the fan and you would be better off spending the money on additional fans in the other 2 slots. Enjoy the case. It's a nice, clean, smaller case.

Not sure. Entire fan was cheap enough to just replace fan compared to Lowes price which was double!!!

The fans are screw mounted, so should be replaceable. To replace may require splicing of 2 power wires into 1 or use of an adapter cable.
